To configure these translated labels for maps, use the information that is provided in Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle MapViewer. 14 Configuring Time Zones 14-1 14 Configuring Time Zones This chapter includes the following topics on configuring time zones: ■ Section 14.1, Why and Where are Time Zones Used? ■ Section 14.2, Setting Time Zones ■ Section 14.3, What is the Precedence Order for Time Zones ■ Section 14.4, Where are Time Zone Specifications Stored? ■ Section 14.5, Description of Time Zone Settings ■ Section 14.6, Example: Configuration File Settings for Specifying the Time Zone 14.1 Why and Where are Time Zones Used? Time zones are used throughout Oracle Business Intelligence for a variety of purposes. A time stamp can indicate when an object was changed, and users can specify a time for an agent to run. Users often are most comfortable working in their local time zones. As the administrator, you can configure the preferred time zones for users for various components. Before you begin to set preferred time zones, see Table 14–1 for information about where time zones are used. Table 14–1 Time Zone Usage Type Description Oracle BI Presentation Services If you have users in time zones that are different from the zone for Presentation Services, then you as the administrator can specify the time stamps that those users see in Oracle Business Intelligence. For example, suppose the server is located in the Pacific time zone in the United States. You can specify that users on the east coast of the United States see time stamps that are displayed in Eastern Standard Time. If you make no time zone settings and if a user does not specify a preferred time zone using the My Account dialog, then that user sees time displayed according to the local time zone for Presentation Services. For information about how users specify their preferred time zones, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.
